An Italian reader reminded me to check out Sweden's Left Hand Solution for another doom band with great female vocals. I'd heard of them but never got around to hearing them until today. Fevered (1997) is pretty great! Haven't started on Light Shines Back (2001) yet. They've been on extended hiatus, but have performed a couple times in recent years.

Really enjoying the Grand Supreme Blood Court album that came out last month. Four (ex-)Asphyx members + one Hail Of Bullets guy playing...exactly what you'd expect.

In fact, now that the nominations for the EoY poll are closed I'm suddenly finding shitloads of great records:
Melankoli - Wind
Lustre - They Awoke to the Scent of Spring
Dark Forest - Land Of The Evening Star
An Autumn for Crippled Children - Only the Ocean Knows
Borgne - Royaume Des Ombres
Locus Neminis - Weltenwanderung

Also, more Lustre to come in January:

Happy New Year, you bastards!!

Really enjoying Beneath's Enslaved by Fear. They're Icelandic death metal ,and to me sound kind of like Behemoth without the black metal influence, catchy songwriting, well-played death metal.

Also digging Malignancy's Eugenics, although being that my first experience with them (and only) was Intrauterine Cannibalism, I barely recognized them.
